Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2022 Ochs Family Reunion in Colorado Springs, CO

(Please share this with any family members we may have missed).

The families of Phillip Ochs Sr, and Katharina E. (Rudy) Ochs are organizing a Reunion on July 23, 2022, in Colorado Springs for their 2 who are still alive.

Phillip, Sr.  & Katharina had 13 children and they had a total of 42 grandchildren.   Of the 42 “cousins” there are 2 still alive and they will be at the event.   They are Charlotte Lindsay (daughter of William Ochs) and Harlan Ochs (son of David Ochs).  This gathering is intended to honor those two remaining cousins.

At our most recent reunion in Russell KS in 2019, we discussed having another combined reunion this year with the "red" and "green" Ochs families.   Due to several circumstances and travel difficulties, we have not organized that combined reunion as planned.    Instead, the Phillip Sr. & Katharina Ochs families are meeting on Saturday, July 23, 2022 in Colorado Springs.
